MiraDry is a non-surgical procedure that permanently reduces underarm sweat, odor and hair in as little as one treatment!  Contact a provider in your area to learn more about this procedure!Best Wishes, Dr. Aldo Guerra

Greetings,There are a variety of techniques to decrease sweating under the arms:

Botox- Botox is helpful in that it can decrease the production of sweat but not odor.  It typically lasts about 6 months in the under arm area.
Miradry-  Miradry uses microwave energy to destroy apocrine and eccrine glands.  It is better at eccrine gland destruction than apocrine and is currently only used on the underarm area.
RF needling- Can be used anywhere on the body and can destroy both apocrine and eccrine glands.  Has become the procedure of choice in my practice for hyperhidrosis due to its effectiveness.
Nerve ablation-Not commonly performed anymore as side effects are often worse than treatment and effectiveness is often limited.
Oral medications- Too many side effects to be effective.
Topical medications- Works by blocking glands.  Many patients state how not effective mechanism.
Best,
Anil Shah

Underarm sweating affects millions of normal healthy women. I would consider the Miradry treatment for the problem. I have co-authored a book on the subject and have one of the leading centers on the West Coast for hyperhidrosis. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

People often sweat not only from hot temperatures and exercising but also from being anxious, nervous or stressed. The MiraDry procedure is great for anyone who is concerned with underarm sweat, odor and the hair under their armpits. After 1 treatment, you will immediately notice a reduction in the amount of underarm sweat and odor. The MiraDry procedure is a great treatment for the patients who are embarrassed by their body odor, T-shirt stains, deodorant on their clothing and would like to feel more confident, fresh and clean.

Miradry does help reduce odor as well as sweaty armpits.  Amazing treatment.  And very safe.  Not having to use deodorant is a very attractive idea to many especially with all of the concerns surrounding aluminum.

Excessive sweating is a common condition due to the overactive functioning of the sweat glands. Although sweating is a normal process for the body to cool itself, many with overactive sweat glands sweat unnecessarily and up to five times more than normal or needed. If sweating has become a hindrance in everyday life, I would recommend that you seek treatment.miraDry is an FDA approved treatment that is entirely noninvasive and provides a lasting reduction of underarm sweat. The treatment involves precisely controlled electromagnetic energy that is applied to the underarm area. It eliminates the sweat glands so that it cannot grow back.miraDry takes about 45 minutes to complete and is performed under local anesthesia. Most people with significant sweating requires two treatments. Downtime can range from 3-10 days, tenderness and firmness of the the underarm area is common. The satisfaction rate is very high. I recommend that you consult a plastic surgeon to begin exploring your options.

Thank you for your question.Hyperhidrosis of the underarms can occur at any ambient temperature or altitude. It couuld be 10 degrees outside and you could still sweat.Treatments are many and my book, which is free access and on the link below, can guide you through the process. I think you will learn a lot from reading it.We do have two offices where you can have miraDy - in Los Angeles, California (Kare Plastic Surgery) and in Williamsvile, NY (10 minutes away from Niagara Falls, NY).
